Khan, who was arrested by a special investigative team (SIT) of the Haryana police, will be produced in a local district court in Nuh today.

Security arrangements have also been increased at Palwal T point with people not allowed entry on the road leading to the court premises.

Violence broke out in Nuh during a procession by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad on July 31 this year. Six people were killed and a cleric died in an attack on a mosque in adjoining Gurugram.

The Ferozepur Jhirka MLA had moved the court on September 12, seeking protection from arrest while claiming that he was being framed in the case when he was not present in Nuh the day the violence broke out.

Mamman Khan had also filed a petition in the High Court regarding his bail and security. While hearing the case, the court rejected Khan’s bail and security petition and asked him to approach the lower court. The next hearing in the case will be on October 19.
